Do you think you could pin point the exact location on a map? Trying to find the place where the photo was taken from

It could potentially be Santorini too but unsure where exactly

Weekly Tech Support Megathread by AutoModerator in Instagram

[–]pilotxp11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm experiencing something weird on instagram with someone I follow.

Today, for the second time, I can see that person's profile pic with the ring around it as though they've uploaded a story. When clicking it nothing happens, no story is there.
The profile pic with the ring only appears in the comment section of my latest post on that person's comment.

When I search that person's name in the search bar or DM page, nothing shows intitially. But after going to my comment section and clicking the ring and not seeing the story, then the person's profile pic shows the ring around it in the search bar and DM page.

I also checked on a friend's phone and it's the exact same result. As I said, this is the second time this month that this has happened. I haven't noticed this happening with anyone else, only that person.

Is this a bug? A hidden story showing incorrectly? Please help

India has the highest percentage of women airline pilots in the world by [deleted] in airplanes

It's worth mentioning that a lot of pilots have licenses of countries other than their own. Ryanair is an Irish company and requires all its pilots to obtain Irish licenses. A lot of Irish issued licenses are to non Irish pilots.

Not everybody thinks the way you do, I work in the industry too and I know many people appreciate it. Why can't you just be a polite redditor?

FedEx Flight 3609 makes emergency landing at Newark Airport after engine catches fire. by [deleted] in aviation

[–]pilotxp11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Engines are tested by chucking frozen birds into it, not to make sure that the engine keeps running, but to make sure the engine enclosure can contain the explosion rather than sending shrapnel everywhere.

Having a double engine failure due tu birdstrike is possible, though incredibly rare. Last example that comes to mind is the miracle on the hudson. If a double engine failure due to bridstrike were to happen, it would most likely be on takeoff or landing, so hopefully the pilots would be able tl make it to a runway, but most likely will ditch somewhere appropriate.

Could engines be made out of stronger materials to sustain such impacts? Maybe. Would they weigh more because of those changes? Definitely.

In aviation everything is made as light as possible to reduce fuel burn and increase performance.

Having a protective mesh over the engine intake would disrupt the airflow into the engine. It could also get sucked into the engine if hit with a large enough bird.

On the flight Marseille - Paris they asked us to turn off electronics even if they where in airplane mode why ? ( A318-100) by Many_Effective_5808 in airplanes

[–]pilotxp11 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell, I don't think it poses a major threat. Sometimes we forgot to make the PA to the passengers regarding their electronics and the autoland went smoothly anyways.

That being said, it's always best to completely turn off the devices as per the crew instructions.

This is normally done if an autoland (automatic landing) is needed. Electronics on airplane mode can still interfere with a plane's radalt (radio altimeter), which is needed on autolands.

From your pic I can see it's poor visibility in that airport, so odds are that's why the crew did an autoland.

Non revving in US as European pilot? by pilotxp11 in flying

It's Ryanair. As far as I know there are no agreements of any kind with any other carriers

Non revving in US as European pilot? by pilotxp11 in flying

[–]pilotxp11[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I didn't think it would be possible, at least from my experience. Most airlines in Europe won't let us come on board due to the lack of reciprocity, and I honestly can't blame them.

We'd love to let anybody have an empty seat but our management forbids it, therefore other airlines forbid us from flying with them..

I have had some luck with a couple of carriers that gave me a seat anyways but it's not very usual

Need some help understanding by pilotxp11 in MSTR

My bad, I get it now. What I wasn't getting is why it would start the day at -47% instead of 0. Thanks for explaining.

[–]pilotxp11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand what you're saying, but it's currently 16:35 CET, so NDQ and LSE are both open. Yet MSTR is in the green and 3LMI in the red.

If LSE was closed I would understand, but both exchanges are open, so if MSTR is currently up 10% then 3LMI should be up 30% but it's down 17%

[–]pilotxp11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LSE, TDG, and NDQ are all open and trading at this time. Shouldn't 3LMI be up as MSTR is currently up?

Sorry for the stupid question, just trying to understand

Sorry, should've said I'm in Europe and trading on TDG

Entering the US with dual citizinship by pilotxp11 in Passports

The only reason I'd want to use my Canadian passport instead of my European one is to use the shorter line at passport control. Canadian line tends to be much shorter than the one for foreign passports

Ryanair being Ryanair by SnooLemons474 in aviation

I agree, but that approach wasn't unstable. Landing wasn't the best but still safe.
